  • DVD Copying Charges Dropped - The DVD Copy Control Association (DVD CCA) has dropped its case against a California man accused of misappropriating trade secrets by posting copies of the DeCSS program, which defeats DVD security technology. Another article can be found here.
  • Execs vow global crackdown on music file sharing - On Thursday, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) released a progress report on its year-old campaign to develop and promote online music stores and spread its message that online song-swapping is illegal. In a rare upbeat statement, the IFPI said its initiative is building a vibrant, albeit small, market for selling music downloads that appears to be stealing momentum from peer-to-peer networks such as Kazaa and WinMX where all varieties of music are available for free.
  • RIAA Sues 532 "John Does" - The RIAA filed a new round of copyright infringement lawsuits Wednesday against 532 computer users who are allegedly illegally sharing copyright material using peer-to-peer networks, Sherman said in a telephone press conference to discuss the move. In contrast to previous rounds of lawsuits, the RIAA filed "John Doe" lawsuits that identify alleged file swappers only by the IP address of the computer sharing the file. The RIAA will file a motion to require Internet service providers that own the addresses to provide the identity of the customers behind the addresses, Sherman says.
  • UK Internet Crime Syndicate Smashed By Music And Film Anti-Piracy Units - A series of countrywide raids conducted on Thursday this week (January 15) by Police and Trading Standards with assistance from FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft) and BPI (British Phonographic Industry) have disabled a massive organised crime piracy syndicate. Throughout the raids, which took place in Manchester, Sheffield, Eastbourne, Darlington, Hull, Hartlepool, Anglesey, Wrexham and Derby massive amounts of pirate material – including music, films, business software, PlayStation games and suspected paedophile material – were seized, with an estimated value running onto the millions of pounds.
  • CD lock loosened for freer copying - Macrovision released a new generation of its antipiracy technology on Thursday that it hopes will make copy-protected music CDs more attractive to consumers and record labels. The update attempts to simulate most of what people are doing with CDs on their computers. Content owners such as record labels would be able to set the "usage rules" on the Microsoft Windows Media files included on a Macrovision-protected CD, allowing a specified numbers of CD burns and transfers to portable devices, for example.
  • Security pros question flaw find - Two Internet software developers who said they have uncovered a way to cause entire networks of computers to freeze or shut down may have simply rediscovered an old network issue. The network performance issues are described in a series of Web site forum postings recently publicized within the security community. The poster, who uses the alias NT Canuck, said he created a tool, with the help of another developer, that can shut down entire networks.
  • Off-topic: US space agency loses touch with Mars robot - Nasa, the US space agency, said Thursday it had lost touch with the Mars Rover Spirit, which landed on Mars amid much fanfare almost two weeks ago. Spirit project manager Peter Theisinger showed concern in a press conference about a "very serious anomaly" in communications with the craft. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) has been unable to establish meaningful contact with Spirit since Wednesday afternoon but scientists initially put the problems down to stormy weather on Earth. On Wednesday, Nasa received signals showing the craft was still there, but it was unable to capture any meaningful data.
  • Sun Launches Java for Linux - Sun Microsystems, recognizing the opportunities presented by Linux and hoping to keep pace with the competition, is expanding its support for the open-source operating system.
  • R420 to support DDR, DDR II and GDDR 3 - ATI's team headed by Dave Orton team has no intention of slowing down after its successful coup with the R300. You will be run over if you stop for even a second in the graphics business and even R420 is still not totally cast in stone. Someone at ATI is thinking of the next speed update of this chip that should come roughly six months after. ATI is acting far sightedly. It will have support for all memory marchitectures in R420 as the chip will support DDR1 and that could mean cheaper cards, it will support DDR 2 that will be the memory of choice for this chip and then there's GDDR3 memory, which could be used in future speed upgrades of the R4x0 family. We understand that the initial R420 will use DDR 2 memory which is finally stable and available, and can deliver over 1000MHz.
  • Sony VAIO Digital Studio PCV-RZ46G First Look - The Sony VAIO Digital Studio PCV-RZ46G delivers TV images free from the snow and other artifacts we've seen in the past. Its picture was also sharper than images from other models, which tend to look a bit soft when shown full-screen. And while it still isn't digital-cable crisp, this is the first Media Center PC you won't have to make excuses for when you flip on The Simple Life. Most of the rest of the system is top-notch, too. It includes a 3.2-GHz CPU married to 1GB of RAM, a 200GB hard drive, and a dual-format DVD burner, as well as a separate CD-RW drive. But hard-core gamers will find they can get better 3-D performance than the midrange nVidia GeForce FX 5600 card delivers, and the three-piece speaker set isn't the last word in sound.
  • AirMagnet Handheld 3.0 and Laptop Trio review - THG has posted a review of the latest versions of the Handheld and Laptop Trio products.
  • Corsair 1GB TwinX XMS4400 Memory review - OcPrices has posted a review of the Corsairs latest PC-4400.
  • Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT 128MB review - The Radeon 9600 XT is ATI’s latest high end mainstream board. Introduced at the back end of last year it features all the same functionality and configuration of the 9600 PRO but based on the RV360 chip which puts TSMC’s 130nm low-k dielectric process to use. The low-k process afforded 9600 XT a 25% core clock speed hike over 9600 PRO, which saw few complain about, however the memory speed of ATI’s reference 9600 XT specification was stuck at 300MHz DDR (600MHz effective) and many did query this part of the 9600 XT’s specification.
  • ASUS Radeon 9800 XT and GeForce FX 5950 Ultra Kings of the VGA Hill - TweakTown take a look at two top dogs from both ATi and nVidia in the form of the Radeon 9800 XT and GeForce FX 5950 Ultra from ASUS.  They pit them directly against a reference 9800 XT and an older 9800 Pro to find out who is the king of the hill in the VGA department.
  • Club3D Geforce FX 5900XT - The Madshrimps have reviewed the attractively priced FX5900XT powered videocard from Club3D.
  • Power Supply Units round-up - THG has tested 15 PC power supply units and details the must buys and the must not buys. They also explain and clarify how to interpret manufacturers' power unit specifications.
  • Crystalfontz CFA-631 USB LCD Modules video review - The Crystalfontz CFA-631 USB LCD Modules look fantastic, fit in a 3.5" drive bay and come in a variety of styles. With 5.25" drive bays quickly filled up it's great to see a full featured 3.5" USB LCD Module. Since this product connects directly into your computer's USB port, it's easy to install. Also, the free software makes it a snap to configure.

JAcobposted - Jan, 24 2004 - 05:34
Piracy has been going on way before the net.Remeber the Commadore 64 days LOL!!! How about all those people who got thoses blackboxes for cable! They can rob the net from everyone.Will all go back to BBS'S.There is no way by ending piracy would everything be cheaper or better.That is an illusion.However,Ridding this world of isurance would.Just the simple fact that there is too many krooked claims.I should know, my aunt work's in the claim fraud unit @ farmer's..1000's aday....The only stopping piracy would do would be to apease your soul..And make it right with god.

Run or they smack yoposted - Jan, 24 2004 - 16:30
yes i agree they are too many crooked claims. Plus Lots of identity theft. Lots of people replicating your credit cards or stealing your card numbers. Lots of people replicating your bank card/interact card and putting up camera's to get your code. These crimes are more common today than say the typical bank robbery. Cause today robing a bank is difficult and most people get caught if they try to rob a bank. Unless its one of the small ones with not a lot of cash. People please don't do stupid things like throw your personal information in the garbage why? CRIMINALS STEAL YOUR GARBAGE TO LOOK FOR YOUR PERSONAL INFO. Or use the same code for ALL your credit cards. And you people have to change your card codes often like at least once a month. But a LOT of people have NO CLUE that this shit is going on. THEY CLUELESS. They have this idiotic perception that the world is safe. But the world today is much more dangerous then it was say 20 years ago. Technology is evolving so fast and the security measures ARE NOT BEING PUT into place to keep up. Just look at american/canadian airport security ITS STILL PATHETIC TODAY despite 9/11. Then we have idiot companies using poor or even NO encryption in the wireless networks. People can and do, drive by hackings these days and steal economic/corporate info with ease. People need to start rejecting the idea that the world is safe and start protecting themselves. Each individual should have security protocol's and they should be good. when you choose a password DON"T USE Any word you can find in the dictionary. Your password should be at least 8 characters and be as random/unpredictiable as possible. don't use something like catman34 as a password. Thats a useless password and will be broken in less than 30 minutes. by any decent hacking program. use a bunch of random numbers,letter and special characters. For example something like s7f4l0g$kd. You should have a passcode and give it to people who you trust. Never give out personal information over the phone. Unless they give you the correct passcode to indicate they know you. PEOPLE"S VOICES CAN BE FAKED. I don't know how many times ive seen this happen. You recieve a phone call sounds like your friend but its really just a voice simulation and they ask you personal information and then the people give it.NO NO NO!!! By now you think man im paranoid. Well no this is what the reality of living on earth is like you can either choose to accept it and take measures to protect yourself or reject it and live in your own fantasy world and get screwed over.

if it weren't for piracy, the internet and computing in general wouldn't be where it is today.
